Especially with the gentrification thats going on in a city like mine (Detroit), I feel like all of the black folks will ultimately be forced into the same area, regardless if you got a little something or not because where else you gonna go? The middle class and working class blacks that used to 'move away' from the city wont be able to afford that when gentrification really hits full stride. It's already happening really with some of the suburbs that use to be 'IT" in the 90's that's just like living in the city now...
